Reassembly

The VFR's starting to go back together.

The head bearings have been replaced, and fork oil refreshed, front forks and wheel refitted.

The crankcase cover is off, the plastic envelope where the pillion should sit contains the gasket ready to fit the eBay bought replacements cover. The valve clearances are being checked while the bike's in pieces (part of the 32k service).




You can't see it but rear shock in place. The linkages have all been regreased and one of the linkage bolts replaced due to wear.


It's starting to look a little like a bike from this angle. The brakes aren't on thee yet - they're being cleaned up.

By the end of this, and with new tyres, the bike should handle like new.

A box of bits

The bike's pretty well stripped now. The rear shock is missing - you can't see that from here, just take my word for it.



This where the front wheel should be ... forks have gone, too





But there are new head bearings in here (I hope)
